Risotto is like jambalaya as there are almost unlimited ingredients you can use in them. This one contains no meat.
6 tablespoons butter
2 cups diced onion
4 cups arborio rice
1 cup white wine
8 to 10 cups warm chicken stock
4 cups arugula, chopped
2 cups peas
2 cups chopped asparagus, blanched
2 cups grated Parmesan cheese
Kosher salt, to taste
in a deep stockpot, melt butter over medium heat. Add onions, and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 5 minutes.
Add rice to pot, and stir using a wooden spoon; cook for 2 minutes. Add wine, and cook until liquid is absorbed, about 2 minutes. Stir in stick, 1 ladleful at a time, stirring constantly, until rice is tender but still a little toothsome, about 20 minutes. Stir in arugula, , asparagus, and cheese. Cook until it all comes together, about 1 minute. Season to taste with salt. (Risotto should be loose but not soupy. It should gently pool when scooped and placed on a plate.) Serve immediately.
Enjoy!!!
